Horseshoe Pond Dam

Supervisor Moses stated that DEC had done an inspection of Horseshoe Pond Dam and indicated that the Town of Schroon owned the dam and wanted the Town to do all improvements to the dam. Supervisor Moses has been researching it and has not found where the Town owns it. The Board will set up a workshop after proof of ownership. Supervisor Moses will send a letter to NYSDEC to have the state forward any and all documentation regarding the Town of Schroon’s ownership of the dam and to keep in mind that we wish to retain use of this dam as a potential back-up water source.

The Board suggested to look at the Abstract of Title and bring it back to them at the February 8^th meeting.
